I hate the move honestly. NASCAR takes not only one of the few stand alone races away, but of the better tracks as well.

Everyone I've talked to or read about has hated it. I can't say that I'm a fan either.

Nationwide and Rolex/GrandAm coming. I'd go for the Rolex/GrandAm and Nationwide race on Saturday.

ORP got shut down. It's too bad the facilities sucked because the racing was damn impressive.

Sort of.

The Busch race and the Rolex series were added to the bill at IMS to boost ticket sales.

IRP will still have the trucks and K&N. All other IRP events will go on as planned.

No, they won't. However, as mentioned, they'll still host the local events.

Thank you. I remember watching Randy Lajoie (sp) dominate that place in the old Bush series.

As of right now, neither the Trucks nor Nationwide will race on their customary weekends. There is hope for a standalone weekend sometime in the future.

I don't either. Maybe they will go back later for stand-alone events, but I seriously doubt it. What a shame.

Rolex is the only reason i want to go.

the race sucks because the cars aren't made for the Speedway. another race with the same cars isn't going to make it more exciting.
